Current fuel requirements for Alaska’s ferries should buffer the Alaska Marine Highway System from the Environmental Protection Agency’s low-sulfur fuel requirements.

“It’s not really an issue for the Alaska Marine Highway System,” said Mike Neussl, Alaska Marine Highway Service marine operations deputy commissioner. “We use ultra low sulfur diesel right now in all of our ships.”

Two of the three defendants charged in connection to an arson at Adair-Kennedy Memorial Park appeared in Juneau District Court Thursday for their arraignment, as members of the fire department watched the proceedings from the back of the courtroom.

“We just want to see it go through the system like it’s supposed to,” Capital City Fire and Rescue Fire Marshal Daniel Jager said after the hearing, standing alongside his deputy, Sven Pearson, and two other firefighters.
